4.3 out and about

Greenplum Database 4.3 rolled out earlier this month and there are some big changes.

Append-Optimized Tables: UPDATE and DELETE operations are enabled on what were previously Append-Only tables.

Master Mirroring Enhanced: The way Master/StandbyMaster replication is implemented has changed. This should deliver faster master failover and many more of the functions related to it can now be done online.
